NOTE: This is a 12 month temporary position with possibility of extension.

 

NAIT is proud to be
named one of Alberta’s Top Employers for 10 consecutive years. We are also a
proud partner of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion and Pride at
Work Canada. Learn more about NAIT’s commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
at nait.ca/edi.

Central to NAIT’s vision
of being one of the world’s leading polytechnics is our relationship with
business and industry, a partnership that is dedicated to helping organizations
compete and succeed. NAIT Industry Solutions seeks to create various avenues
that support industry collaboration to improve productivity and competitiveness
of businesses and whole industries in Alberta and beyond. We do this by
partnering with individual companies, industry associations and government.  Our work is highlighted by NAIT’s new
state-of-the-art Productivity and Innovation Centre (PIC), a 190,000
square-foot facility that features applied research centres, advanced
technology labs, manufacturing services, training and certification programs,
and unique conference and events venues.    

NAIT’s Centre for
Sensors and System Integration (CSSI) is a Technology Access Centre (TAC)
staffed with professional researchers to support Alberta businesses on Applied
Research & Development projects that deliver a new product, an improved
service, or a more efficient process.   
Businesses across all major Alberta industry sectors have identified
digital transformation as being the critical next step in their operational
evolution.  CSSI helps address their
challenges through prototyping activities in preparation for later
commercialization, which in turn enhance their productivity, competitiveness,
and innovation.  We may be automating a
manual process, trialing the use of existing technology in an innovative way,
sourcing an idea from another industry and developing a tool to meet the
application, or designing and building something brand new. 

CSSI is looking to
expand the team’s technical expertise to meet growing industry needs in the
areas of software-hardware interfacing, automated control systems, data
management, and customized graphical user interfacing for complex backend
operations. The ideal candidate has strong knowledge on full stack development
and have practical experiences in software applications development and systems
integration. This position requires expertise and skills of managing databases
from real-time data and query-based reporting. Solid knowledge on integrating
multiple databases into a common platform and interfacing with hardware systems
across windows and Linux based subsystems will be required.    

We expect this person to
share their knowledge and help team members to develop their skills in his/her
area of expertise, enabling a broader impact across all our projects.  Above all, we are looking for someone with

• Technical
  management.  This encompasses the

  experimental design, drawings & documentation, and technical estimates /
  budgets based on client defined requirements and expectations.  Also required are data analysis, report
  writing and presentations.    
• Leadership.  While not directly supervisory, this position
  is expected to provide mentoring and knowledge transfer to our existing junior
  and intermediate level technical staff for them to continue their professional
  development.
